I mentioned this in another thread.
I was waiting in a doctor's office yesterday and I grabbed an outdoor magazine. There was an article listing the top 200 places for sportsman to live. Number one on the list was Bend, Oregon.
I wasn't able to read much more as I was called into the exam room.
That got me to thinking about places that would be good and not so good for hunters and shooters to live.
Would you recommend the area you live in to other sportsman?
Yes, gun laws are part of the equation, but other things need to be looked at. Is there easy access to public shooting and hunting areas? Is there any game? What is the general attitude about shooting sports amongst the folks in your neck of the woods? Does your area have good gun shops and gunsmiths?
I would absolutely recommend my area to any serious gun enthusiast. Gun laws around here are minimal. This area is surrounded by public land. Conversations about guns and hunting are common too.
My area does have some drawbacks. One must drive a good distance to reach any type of sporting goods store. If you wake up to go hunting and need some ammo ASAP, you are out of luck. In the summer it gets pretty hot and dry around here, makes for uncomfortable daytime shooting activities.
So, would you recommend your area?
